Synopsis

The reason why many eminent monks and great virtues in history are respected is not because they own thousands of hectares of fertile land and thousands of luxurious houses, but because they are willing to be indifferent. They are not greedy for ease or luxury, but in their indifference, they continue to sublimate and grow their monkhood. The book "Biography of Ancient Chinese Eminent Monks" tells the stories of about 10 eminent monks, mainly introducing the stories of "Fa Xian, Kumarajiva, Zhenyi, Zhiyi" and other eminent monks.

Reader comments

This "Biographies of Eminent Monks in Ancient China" is like a collection of legendary stories. The deeds of eminent monks such as Fa Xian and Kumarajiva are truly admirable. I am deeply inspired by their persistence and wisdom. This reminds me of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West", who also went through hardships to obtain the true scripture. I think this book can not only help us understand the lives of ancient eminent monks, but also draw wisdom and strength in life from it.
